Biological methods of ecological diagnostics as an effective qualitative assessment of environmental pollution.

摘要

The existing methods for environment quality assessment do not meet current requirements because they are based on the comparison of quantitative pollution indices with the maximum allowable concentration (MAC), which significantly reduces the reliability of results. Biological methods of ecological diagnostics become priority-oriented since they provide a qualitative assessment of the environment and are based on the study of the response of living organisms to pollution.Notes Translated from Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta.
